Greetings UMW Campus Community,

Welcome to all faculty, staff, new and returning students. The Parking Management office is located in Lee Hall and is responsible for ensuring the safe and efficient use of all parking resources throughout the campus.

As an added safety measure, UMW Campus Police provides escort services beyond the daylight hours and to students with mobility issues needing assistance. Please call 540-654-1025 to request service.

Be sure to download the safety app:

Our Parking Management team includes:

Jean Elliott, Parking Manager; and Kelsey Proctor as Community Service Officer.

Parking on Campus

Vehicles parked on campus must be registered and display a valid decal or temporary dash pass and be parked in a lot that corresponds with the decal designation. Reserved spaces and restricted lots are enforced at all times.

Commuters, faculty and staff with appropriate decals as well as University visitors are permitted to park on College Avenue. The parking website offers guidance on seeking a “parking pass” for overnight and frequent campus guests.

Permits: Parking permit applications are available for eligible students and all faculty and staff through Self-Service Banner and also by visiting the Parking Management office located in Lee Hall to get a parking permit.

Parking Lot Designation: A listing of all lots and their designation may be found on the Parking website (includes guidelines for the UMW Parking Deck).

Eagle Landing Parking : Residents of Eagle Landing who have purchased a parking decal will need to register with the Eagle Landing  front desk after move-in to receive their  RFID (garage door opener). These students have 24/7 access to the enclosed deck parking on floors 3-5 of Eagle Landing parking garage.  Eagle Landing guest spaces are for registered guests with guest passes available from UMW Parking Management, UMWPD, and the Eagle Landing Front Desk.

Note: Eagle Village is private property and parking on the surface lots around shops and restaurants is for tenants and customers of Eagle Village businesses only. Towing in these locations is enforced.

Parking in nearby Commercial & Residential areas:  Students and faculty/staff members are cautioned not to park their vehicles in nearby commercial parking lots or residential communities while on campus. The City of Fredericksburg and Commercial Businesses restrict parking to patrons or residents within designated city blocks. Violators are subject to fines and towing by City of Fredericksburg.

Enforcement: To ensure the availability of safe parking and the efficient use of the parking resources, all parking regulations are enforced on a year-round schedule; enforcement will begin Wednesday, January 17, 2018.  All vehicles parked on the UMW campus must be registered with Parking Management and a Decal must be present on vehicles. The university has been granted the authority under the Code of Virginia Sections 23-9.2:3, and 2.2-4800 to issue citations and collect fines.

Specific questions on lots, decals or enforcement may be directed to Jean Elliott at 540-654-1129 or jelliot3@umw.edu.

We wish you a successful Spring Semester and academic year.
